    Water softener
    My elderly neighbor is under the mistaken impression that he needs to put his softener on bypass immediately before it regenerates, and then return it to soften afterwards. I don't know much about softeners, but I suspect that this could damage the unit over time, at the least, it can't be fuctioning properly. Please help. We have been debating this for the last 2 years.

    I have a 10+ year old Kenmore that is fully automatic--it sets the valves as required.

    Here is a link to a site that has 1,237,233 user's guides for 5,364 brands. Perhaps you can find the user's manual there.

Constant running water noise, old water softener pipes? [ 3 Answers ]

When we bought our house, it came with a decommissioned water softener in the laundry room. The pipes behind it (I'm assuming in and out) were capped off with plastic plugs that toggle back and forth. If you're familiar with Dr. Dolittle, I'd call it a pushmi-pullyu setup.

Put a bag of salt in my softener today and it appeared to be way over the brine level. Checked on it a few hours later and still had dry pellets on top. Manually regenerated the system - no fill. Letting it go through its cycle now, but wondering if there's something I'm overlooking. There's...
